No BBQ For Me

One of New York's best. I'm a vegetarian but I always find an abundance of awesome foodies for me to eat. My family loves the BBQ, etc. Keep putting it out there for us New Yorkers. Thanks

Good Recovery on a bad delivery situation

We moved around the corner from Brother Jimmys about two years ago. We have been there about 20 times and ordered delivery maybe 20 times as well. The food is usually good, although the macaroni and cheese side is always hit or miss, the rest of the food is pretty consistent. In addition, its a great place to go after my company's softball team has a game. We love the fishbowls and have fishbowl races after every game we have thats on the UWS. Tonight, we orderd from dinner from Brother Jimmy's and they told us it would be half an hour. About 50 minutes later we called and they told us it was on the way. About an hour and 15 minutes later we called and the girl couldn't find our order in the computer. She gave the phone to the manager who also couldnt find it in the computer. Ten minutes after that the manager called us back, apologized, and told us that the order was on them because they found it on a piece of paper next to the phone and they had never put it in the computer. It was really annoying to wait two hours to get food, however, I appreciated the manager trying to smooth things over by sending it asap and not charging. I will definitely be back again this spring and summer for softball season, and probably will order delivery again.

Don't go in!

Unless you are incredibly homesick for bbq sauce that tastes like olive oil or watered down A1 , save your money and stay at home. In all fairness the bbq chicken isn't bad, but the sauce makes it intolerable. With so many alternatives on the UWS that are far superior and classier, do yourself a favor and don't waste your money here.

Feels like home

As soon as I moved to New York City six years ago, I tried to find places that reminded me of my college expereince at FSU as I was a little homesick. The moment I walked into Brother Jimmy's I was at home. It reminders me of college and Tallahassee to a perfect "T." The music, the atmosphere, the food, the staff, and the clientel make a big city feel like a small southern town. Everytime I go, I have a great time, my food is excellent and the staff always contribute to a good night. Even on nights when I order in, the food is delivered quickly, and is still hot! And my order is never messed up - who can say that about any place in this city! I did have one problem once, but the manager quickly came to my table and very professionally rectified the problem. I will be a Brother Jimmy's fan for life!

we found our new wing place

Since we moved back to New York, we couldn't believe we hadn't been able to find decent wings until we tried Brother Jimmy's. We haven't had their other stuff yet, but the Buffalo wings are just big, juicy, delicious pieces of awesomeness. We got them delivered and devoured them in like five minutes. The main reason I wanted to write this review, though, is that the hostess was kind enough to call us a few minutes after we ordered to let us know that a bunch of calls had suddenly come in, and our delivery might be delayed a bit. We really appreciated the heads-up! Props for great customer service.

Great!

Eat here every couple weeks, great food, great service, great atmosphere. We always order ribs, pitchers of beer, and don't forget to order the swamp water! It's delicious and it does the trick. Everyone is super nice. Definitely head to Brother Jimmy's!

Best Spot After Playing Sports

Anyone who posted a negative review about Brother Jimmy's food, staff or atmosphere was obviously looking for something other than a local hang out for relaxing with friends and being casual. I play ona variety of intramural sports teams and we love going to Brother Jimmy's after games. It is the ideal bar for beers, tasty (unhealthy) food, and hanging out with friends. Always have a good time here and love their weekday specials. You can walk away satisfied, having had fun with your group of friends...for only $20 each. Also, West Side location is the best. East Side locations have crappy layout and breaks up the flow of the bar. Penn Station location doesn't have the same neighborhood vibe. Just a pitt stop for LIRR commuters going in and out of the city.
